As promised, I'm back with another card for Virginia's View Challenge: Stripes and Plaid.
On our way home from Chicago in September we stopped at Buffalo Stamps and Stuff. I found a really cute stamp set from Impression Obsession called "Tidings of Joy." I specifically purchased it for the image of a cute little car with a Christmas tree on top, although I haven't used that image yet. When I finished my granddaughter's birthday card (coming soon on a post) I had a series of stitched rectangles left over from cutting frames. I didn't want to waste them, so I looked for a Christmas image that would fit nicely into it. This sentiment fit the bill.
In addition to the stripes on the sentiment which I colored with my Tombow markers, I created some tone-on-tone stripes with my scoring board.
I don't usually share my Christmas cards online until after they've been mailed. There are six of these, and there are nearly 50 total (several designs.) They are all done except for the inside greeting which I hope to finish over the Thanksgiving holiday so they'll be in the mail early next month. I can thank the World Series for being so timely with my cards this year. I set up a card table in the living room and worked on them while I watched the games. Hope next year's games interest me as much as this year's. It's a great way to get a head start on the holiday card making!
